Today was the big day.....the "unveiling " of the ear. Bless his heart (and mine) he has had that big ol' nasty bandage on his head since last Tuesday and today it finally got to come off. As you can see below this surgery used alot more "tiny" detail with all of those stitches. I am not sure how many there were BUT believe you me there were a ton of them.
We let our local ENT do the suture removal which saved us a trip to Atlanta --Thanks Dr. Blythe. So as you can see below, after we did this.........
This is the finished product :)...........
Some of you might be wondering why the ear is still so flat to the head??!?!? Well, that is just part of the stages of surgery. Stage 3 is when the ear will actually be "elevated" away from the head, making it protrude like a normal ear. But for now, I think this looks BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I do sort of miss that sweet "little" ear we had all come to love but Nathan is so proud of his new ear.....and I am proud for him.
